    Paint colors

    Noting that you like orange, I recently saw a Model 3 painted in McLaren's Volcano Orange, and it looked fabulous. It is a spectacular color when properly applied. Its rich hue and metallic base is more of a "luxury orange" rather than a "racing orange". This ticks the boxes of "Not Bland" and...

    For Sale: 2019 Model 3 Standard Range Plus w/ 27,011 miles $44K

    I have a cash offer from two local auto dealers for $42,826 through Kelly Bluebook (KBB.com). I recently sold my 2016 model S through this forum, so I am also offering our Model 3 in the same manner. Would love to sell it to a private party in a simple transaction where I receive more than...

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    I also just got a 22 MSLR. My car has not done that. However, I am going to make a guess that it is related to the active noise reduction feature, which uses microphones in the seats (probably near the head rests) make use of this feature, so that it can inject sound through the speakers out of...

    FS - 2016 Tesla P100DL+

    Yes, I enjoyed our conversation. I do hope you find a similar car in NorCal.

    FS - 2016 Tesla P100DL+

    It sold for $72,500 - which was $1,000 over asking price. Had quite a few offers, so from a reference standpoint maybe it was priced slightly below market, especially considering the car's condition.

    FS - 2016 Tesla P100DL+

    I left off my contact info. Email - [email protected] Here are a few additional details, based on questions some of you have asked via PM. I attached screenshots of the warranty coverage and the cost of upgrading the computer to the new FSD computer ($1,000 for this vehicle). This seems pretty...

    Bluetooth issues

    This is a known issue with iOS and some BT devices, including Tesla. The problem would temporarily be solved by turning off BT and then turning it back on each time you get in the car. All other BT devices, including apple watch and airpods needed to be off. Apple was aware of it and it was...

    Anyone know what this is?

    As tljdesign stated, the device is an RFID sensor. The "headlight sticker" is used for authentication and automated entry in a gated community. It is typically placed on the headlight because the headlight reflector improves the range. Here is a link Headlight RFID - Vehicular RFID Stickers -...

    Blue-tooth Issues

    This is a known issue with iOS and Tesla. It should be solved when iOS 11.4 is released.

    Financing the car after lease ends

    This is true. Leasing a Tesla (compared to purchasing) is a poor strategy if you have any possible thoughts of keeping the car for this reason.

    Model 3 for college kid?

    This is spot on, in my opinion.

    My perforated, soft multipattern seats ruining the soundstage of my premium audio????

    I am highly confident that you have another problem with the audio in your car, based on your observation. I have a P100D with perforated seats and UHFS. I have been in several Model S, with non perforated seats and the standard audio system. At this very moment, I have a base loaner car (it has...

    Auto lane change "randomly" refusing to work

    This isn't my experience at all. I have noticed random behavior similar to what the OP states. Sometimes it will allow lane changes and sometimes it won't on the EXACT same stretch of road, under similar conditions. It appears to randomly not work sometimes, on the same route at the same time of...

    Bike Racks or Hitch Rack/System Ideas for MS

    We used them on a drive from SoCal to Bend Oregon and back with two $10k bikes on the roof. We averaged about 75mph, but often above 85mph on some stretches. No issues. They work especially good on glass. They aren't designed to stay on the car when not in use. You remove them when you don't...

    Bike Racks or Hitch Rack/System Ideas for MS

    I recommend the SeaSucker Talon. It uses powerful, marine grade vacuum cups, leaves no marks, is super easy to put on and remove and works perfectly. They have a number of models, but I like the Talon because it is a single bike mount, and you can just put one on when you are carrying a single...

    Early Lease Return

    zer0cool is right - if you really want out of the lease, the best option is to use a service such as "swapalease". In order to incentivize potential lessees, you will have to offer a cash incentive. The exact amount will be determined by the market and how many miles per month you have left on...

    Unable to get a Service Appointment

    Agree. The Costa Mesa Service Center is terrible. They don't return calls and its difficult to schedule an appointment. The last appointment I had, I left the car there for four days during a trip and when I returned from the trip they had not even started working on any of the issues. I needed...

    AP2 / 8.1 : "Cruise Not Available"-AP intermittently not working in 17.11.{3,10} versions

    The exact same thing happened to me today. All was well after updating to 17.11.3 on Friday. Much improved auto steer, lane markings were stable. Today, no TACC or auto steer, no lane markings. Rebooting the displays didn't work. Seems odd that those who are having this problem all seem to have...

    Wind noise in full glass roof new Model S

    Thank you for posting the photos! It looks like the gaps are smaller than on my car. It also looks like they installed some sort of gasket which is similar to my DIY method. Appreciate your help!

    Wind noise in full glass roof new Model S

    That is great to hear. Could you please take some photos where the windshield meets the glass roof? Maybe put one penny flat on the intersection and a second penny upright, sitting in the gap (maybe the gap is filled with a seal and you can't even do that which would be great). I would like to...

    Wind noise in full glass roof new Model S

    Could you please take a photo or two of the gap between the glass roof and windshield so we can see how they solved the problem? This would be very useful when bringing our cars that have the wind problem back to the service center for repair. Thanks!

    Wind & road noise with all glass roof?

    That rubber seal is new. My car did not have that. I had to install something similar as a DIY project. It sure would be nice if they sent a notice to early all glass roof owners so that they could get the fix at their local Service Center.

    Are Ludicrous and Insane Mode gone with the newer models?

    This statement is mostly, but not completely accurate. If you are custom ordering a new car, the above statement is true. All custom ordered P100D have Ludicrous included. However, if you opt to purchase an inventory P100D, you have the choice of adding or subtracting the Ludicrous mode (it is a...

    P100D Performance Questions, Sport -VS- Ludicrous

    I also have a non "L" P100D, purchased under a similar year end deal. $11,300 off for a 168mi showroom car + a $10k deduct for no Ludicrous. (and of course unlimited supercharging because the purchase was 12/30/16). I asked my SA what the 0-60 was on an "Insane" P100D. He inquired within and...

    Model S 90D vs P100D - Which to buy?

    DHG, The base, 3 year, 12k/year, lease residual value for all models of Model S is 50%. They then add the $7500 tax credit to the residual value which boosts the residual value %. However, the more expensive the vehicle, the less the residual value % is, since the $7500 is a smaller % of the...

    Wind noise in full glass roof new Model S

    @daviddc: looks great. Now I am going to order that product and replace mine. I noticed that the product comes in a number of sizes. Did you order more than one size and use the best one, or did you just measure the gap and pick the closest size?

    Mike, yes, my temporary DIY did significantly reduce the wind noise. Now I only hear tire noise!

    My Custom Car Mount Solution

    I purchased two of the Belkin Car Cup Holders about a month ago (one for me and one for my wife) and they both broke. Be very careful how tightly you clamp them in your cupholder. The mechanics are fragile.

    Wind noise in full glass roof new Model S

    I picked up my car from the service center today. They acknowledged the problem with the roof noise (and have seen the problem several times already) but they did not do anything about it yet. They said that engineering is aware of the problem, but there is no permanent fix yet. They said that...

    Wind noise in full glass roof new Model S

    I started a post on this exact topic a few days ago. I have the same issue. On my car, the glass roof is not quite flush with the trailing edge of the windshield. It is raised by a couple millimeters. I put a piece of masking tape across the intersection of the windshield and the glass roof, and...

    Replacing center console slider with a wood finished slider from Model X

    Yes, I spoke with my service advisor, and he said that he thought I would have to order the whole console, which seems silly. I asked him what would happen if someone working on the car scratched the wood slider on a model X. He still thought they would order a whole console, but he didn't say...

    Replacing center console slider with a wood finished slider from Model X

    I am a delighted new owner of a Model S P100D. I really like the look of the center console slider in the Model X, that matches the rest of the trim, compared to the Model S slider that is simply black. Does anyone know if the Model X uses the exact same part of the S (except the finish of...

    Wind & road noise with all glass roof?

    In my case, the noise sounded like it was coming mostly from the passenger side. I would try putting masking tape across the whole front edge to test if the noise is actually coming from the front edge of the glass roof. This would also simplify the process of demonstrating the problem to the...

    Wind & road noise with all glass roof?

    I dont miss opening a sunroof - all of my previous cars had sunroofs that open, but I rarely opened them except for a few days when it was really hot, I would open the roof just for a couple of minutes to let the heat out. I figure I won't have to do that in the Tesla because I can pre...

    Wind & road noise with all glass roof?

    I also picked up my new P100d just before new year and have the same issue with my new all glass roof. I noticed that it sticks up a millimeter or two at the leading edge, rather than fitting completely flush with the edge of the windshield. I carefully put a piece of masking tape across the...

    Autopilot for HW2 rolling out to all HW2 cars today!

    1st post! I've only had my car (P100d) for a couple weeks. More on that to follow. My car was one of the initial 1000 to get the initial AP2 release (250.185) but just received the latest update a few hours ago. It downloaded in less than 10 minutes. Rev is listed as 17.3.2. Just got back from a...
